Fun is great and all but never underestimate the power of bed. Sweet, warm, comfy, inviting, healing, restoring, delicious, wonderful bed. Twenty of the best parties ever don’t hold a candle to the feeling you get crawling into bed after a long hard day. I’m crazy about it. I highly […]

“Be honest, be funny, and if it’s meant to happen, it’ll happen.” – Ray Romano
Spock and Kirk action hero figurine set for ages 8+. Don’t they mean 48+?
I’ve got a note to write about a man. A man I didn’t get the opportunity to know nearly as well as I’d have liked and because of that, I’m sad. He was good man. A smart man. The kind of man who you knew within one minute of meeting […]
There’s one smart tree in my yard. Every spring, all the other trees hurry up and get their leaves quickly, enduring snows and late April frosts along with a bunch of pissed-off robins who came back too soon. Every tree in the yard is so ambitious to get started except […]
I changed the clock on the microwave today to reflect daylight savings time. Not sure why though. It’s usually flashing :13 seconds or some other random time from whoever got done using it last and you can’t see the time anyway. This is a definite pet peeve. My niece once […]
I try to keep the content 100% original in this blog but sometimes you run into something that resonates with you. Here’s my thought for the day: I’d say this philosophy has served me well. We’re talking figuratively kill, not literally of course. Kill them with wit. Disarm them with […]
Nothing like picking up a skeleton, some fake blood, and a Christmas tree when you’re out shopping. Very convenient. Thank you American retailers. Thank you.
After a three hour delay and five gate changes, my American Airlines flight is now adding ballast to the plane before we can take off. Yes, ballast. This, after charging me $25 for my single checked bag. Supposedly, they charge for checked bags because luggage makes the plane heavier and […]
I’ve been reading the book “Mastery” by Robert Green, the bestselling author of the book “The 48 Laws of Power.” It’s really a fascinating study of creativity, genius, and the rules for mastering any field of study or area of concentration. The book contains countless in-depth features of the lives […]
Did you ever notice how life really comes down to doing what you set your mind to doing? If you don’t do that thing, you’ve really just made an excuse to let yourself off the hook. You wake up and say to yourself “I’m going to exercise today.” If you […]
OK. I don’t have kids. But I like kids. And I was one once. So this qualifies me to have an opinion on this subject. I always find it strange that people with kids find it necessary to first clarify “You don’t have kids” before they bore me with a story […]
I find it ironic that I’ll intentionally subject myself to an hour and a half at the gym but become utterly exasperated if I have to get off the couch and walk across the living room for the TV remote.
Two very similar-looking bottles. Dramatically different uses. What would be worse: a mouthful of Dial soap or a splash of mouthwash across the nethers?
It seems Facebook has become has become a fog of white noise, unsubstantiated opinions, and useless information – dare I say, mis-information. I’ve unconciously developed some survival mechanisms to cut through. You might find these policies helpful to your daily navigation through this cesspool. Whenever you see a post that […]
I bought a new alternator today. Or I should say, I had one installed in my car today. My car again runs just like it should. I feel like I’ve made a major upgrade. I think what I did is incredible. Now the lights don’t slowly dim, the radio stays […]
To a dog, almost everything is happening now. Go outside now. Eat something now. Sniff something now. Bark now. Chase something now. Hump something now. They have a rudimentary, shadowy sense of the past, but they live almost completely in the now. Dogs have absolutely no concept of the future. […]
Never are you more on stage than when you stand up to go take a leak on an airplane. To begin, you’re strolling toward the cockpit in front of 150 or so other passengers. This automatically gets people’s attention because you’re quietly announcing that you’ve either got to shake the […]
When it comes to daily dress, a man should look like he’s ready for work or a fight. That’s it. Anything else is just gay. Besides an excellently tailored suit, a man looks ridiculous or too feminine when all his clothes come together to make a perfect “outfit.” A real man […]
A blacksmith can’t forge steel without applying a lot of heat and beating the shit out of the iron. Don’t worry about tough times or personal challenges. They’re just life’s way of applying emotional heat and mental hard knocks to forge a great, tough-minded, useful person.
